‘Arrow’ Casts ‘Spartacus’ Alum Katrina Law as Ra’s al Ghul’s Daughter

A member of the al Ghul family is making her way to Starling City in an upcoming episode of Arrow. No, it’s not Talia, but instead her half-sister Nyssa, TV Guide reports.

TV Guide reports that Spartacus: War of the Damned actress Katrina Law will play the DC Comics character in the 13th episode of the season, titled “Heir to the Demon,” which depicts Nyssa as a high-level member of the League of Assassins on the trail of Black Canary (Caity Lotz).

Created by Greg Rucka and Klaus Janson, Nyssa made her comic-book debut in August 2003’s Detective Comics #783, where she was revealed to be the love child of Ra’s al Ghul, born during his travels in 19th-century Russia. She eventually tracked down her father and took a place at his side, much like her half-sister Talia. However, a difference of world views led Ra’s to send her away, but with her own Lazarus Pit.
